Domestic vs. Offshore Manufacturing by Anonim Pdf

In an increasingly globalized world, offshore manufacturing is often favored over domestic manufacturing for its ability to meet greater demands for goods that can be manufactured at lower costs, ultimately saving both companies and consumers money. However, a number of concerns also arise when examining offshoring's impact on a domestic and international scale. Some argue that offshoring results in the exploitation of workers from lower-income countries, while others express concern over the potential loss of domestic jobs that can result from it. This volume examines the benefits and drawbacks of domestic and offshore manufacturing through numerous points of contention.

The Fair Trade Handbook by Gavin Fridell,Zack Gross,Sean McHugh Pdf

Framed within the common goal of advancing trade justice and South-North solidarity, The Fair Trade Handbook presents a broad interpretation of fair trade and a wide-ranging dialogue between different viewpoints.

Contributors to this book look at the issues within global trade, and assess fair trade and how to make it more effective against the broader structures of the capitalist, colonialist, racist and patriarchal global economy. The debates and discussions are set within a critical development studies and critical political economy framework. However, this book will appeal to a wide range of readers, as it translates the key issues for a popular audience.

Fashionopolis by Dana Thomas Pdf

*NYTBR Paperback Row Selection * The Independent's Best Fashion Book on Sustainability* An investigation into the damage wrought by the colossal clothing industry and the grassroots, high-tech, international movement fighting to reform it What should I wear? It’s one of the fundamental questions we ask ourselves every day. More than ever, we are told it should be something new. Today, the clothing industry churns out 80 billion garments a year and employs every sixth person on Earth. Historically, the apparel trade has exploited labor, the environment, and intellectual property—and in the last three decades, with the simultaneous unfurling of fast fashion, globalization, and the tech revolution, those abuses have multiplied exponentially, primarily out of view. We are in dire need of an entirely new human-scale model. Bestselling journalist Dana Thomas has traveled the globe to discover the visionary designers and companies who are propelling the industry toward that more positive future by reclaiming traditional craft and launching cutting-edge sustainable technologies to produce better fashion. In Fashionopolis, Thomas sees renewal in a host of developments, including printing 3-D clothes, clean denim processing, smart manufacturing, hyperlocalism, fabric recycling—even lab-grown materials. From small-town makers and Silicon Valley whizzes to such household names as Stella McCartney, Levi’s, and Rent the Runway, Thomas highlights the companies big and small that are leading the crusade. We all have been casual about our clothes. It's time to get dressed with intention. Fashionopolis is the first comprehensive look at how to start.

Louise Bourgeois by Lynne Cooke,Rachel Cusk,Julienne Lorz Pdf

Das Buch liefert einen Überblick über die textilen Arbeiten aus den letzten zwei Lebensjahrzehnten von Louise Bourgeois. »Ich war schon immer fasziniert von der magischen Kraft der Nadel. Nadeln werden benutzt, um einen Schaden zu beheben. Sie sind eine Forderung nach Vergebung.« Für diesen Werkkomplex verwendete die Künstlerin Kleidungsstücke aus allen Bereichen ihres Lebens, später erweiterte sie ihn um andere Textilien wie Bettwäsche, Tapisserien und Stickereien. In Bourgeois’ textilen Arbeiten setzen sich die Themen Identität und Sexualität, Trauma und Aufarbeitung, Schuld und Wiedergutmachung fort. Sie dienen als Metaphern emotionaler und psychologischer Zustände. Der Katalog, der zur Ausstellung in der Hayward Gallery und dem Gropius Bau erscheint, zeigt zahlreiche Arbeiten, wie die monumentalen Cell Installationen, figurative Skulpturen oder abstrakte Stoffzeichnungen.
